Hey guys.  I started looking into chronos and all the pictures I see they are mounted to tripods or on a large table.

 

I only have access to indoor ranges and Ft. Dix where you really can't shoot that far behind your table.  Plus I'd

really rather not have to invest in a tripod and carry all that gear just to test out my rounds.

 

Do they make some type of micro/mini chrono that doesn't take up too much space that maybe could fit on a booth

table in an indoor range?

Wont work, Unless you have some sort of elaborate chronograph setup with a dedicated light box 

Chronographs rely on the sun to work properly.

 

They can even be finiky in the shade and on a cloudy day.

You could probably get into it for fairly cheap, around 100 bucks if you buy the right stuff.

 

I have a tripod that folds up in a little 14" bag, costs under 20 bucks.

For some reason I thought it was some special tripod.  If a photo tripod works I got that covered.  Thanks.  

you can use a chrony and put LED lights on the sunshade.  I have this

Yeah, photo tripod work just fine.

There is also a chrono that straps to your barrel as well.

 

But I use the tripod type.

My guess is it would not work out well on a semi auto.  I did see the type but looks like it is only for fixed barrels.

Correct.  fixed barrels handguns and rifles I believe.
